Random Crashes on planet, around large grid

Hello support team,

my game is crashing on random occasions and I cannot pinpoint the reason or reproduce the moment. I am using some mods, however, the savegame was running succesfully for several hours before and I just can't figure out what's triggering the crash to desktop.

The crashes are not happening in space or when I am away from my base (below 20k PCU)

Sometimes, when a crash frequently happens after a certain amount of time passing after loading my last autosave, I can "navigate around" the crash moment by remote controlling something in space or outside of my base. Even standing or sitting afk is causing a crash, so I guess there is some animation going on which is crashing the game (judging by the log), but that's all I got so far.

I saw in your troubleshooting guide that updating the GPU driver on AMD is fixing some problems, but in this case it didn't. For testing reasons I turned down my gras density to zero since it was causing problems on the RX 5700 but that also did not help me.

My PC:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor 3.40 GHz

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / AMD Software Adrenalin Ediiton Version 22.3.1 (released on 09.03.2022)

16,0 GB RAM

Windows 10 Home Version 21H1
